I bought the Firebird because it offered the best compromise between DH and climbing ability. Shuttle services in my town are expensive and all the best trails require a good 600+ m of high grade climbing! I've only changed a few items from Pivot's spec. If I had more money there would be a set of Zelvy hoops on there - otherwise I'm stoked!
